Best Super Bowl in a long time.

My theory is that the Pats fell victim to their own press, and
possibly didn't realize until too late in the game that they wouldn't
be able to sleep walk through four quarters and automatically go home
with the title.

Example- last couple of minutes of the game. 4-5 Pats have hold of
some part or another of Eli Manning. It looks like lights out for the
Giants. Suddenly Manning (not a great big guy by NFL standards) just
simply wiggles free and can complete a play for a decent gain. The
Pats were already visualizing their Super Bowl rings, but Manning was
visualizing the end zone.

The Giants, on the other hand, knew they would have to paly the game
of their lives to have a chance against the "unbeatable" Pats- and so
they did.

The Giants defense really carried the day, IMO, with the offense
performing brilliantly just at those critical moments when it mattered
most.
